Post on Writer Beware!

I think this is going to be a record for me: three posts in one day! But I thought it was important to share this link with you. It's a guest post on the Writer Beware Blogs!, and the topic is the downside of self-promoting too soon. If you're pressed for time (and who isn't?), then blogging, tweeting, etc., can eat up much of the time you should be spending writing. That's not the only drawback, however. Head over there to learn more. The guest blogger, Alyx Dellamonica, has written a fantastic book called Indigo Springs. It's a beautifully written book about what happens when three friends discover magic welling up in an old house. Go check it out too!

Didn't read the article yet, but I know my publisher told me not to do any major interviews until the book released. If you start promoting too soon, people will be looking for your book before it's out and may buy a different one instead when they can't find yours. And by the time your book does come out they won't remember it.

About Me

QA rep by day, loving wife and mom by night.
Somewhere in there I write science fiction/fantasy and indie publish it. My short story, "A
Reptile at the Reunion," was published in the Firestorm of Dragons
anthology June 2008. My indie works include the SF Catalyst Chronicles series (currently available: Lyon's Legacy, "The Mommy Clone", and Twinned Universes), the Season Avatars series (Seasons' Beginnings, with Scattered Seasons due in spring 2015) and several unrelated fantasy short stories. Lyon's Legacy, Twinned Universes, and Seasons' Beginnings are available in paper and eBook formats; my other short stories are all eBooks.

About This Blog

As a science fiction/fantasy author, I discuss topics such as science, writing science fiction/fantasy, indie-publishing, books, and authors. On a personal note, I also blog about my family and the Beatles. I usually post three times a week. A recurring topic is Science of the Week on Fridays, though sometimes it's preempted.

Although I'm not comfortable reviewing books, I am willing to host author interviews and participate in blog tours. Please e-mail me at ulbrichalmazanATsbcglobalDOTnet.
